With this lie escalating to violent threats against the Haitian community, we perhaps need to put a pause on joking about this insidious hoax. They are trying to start a race war, and memes likely aren’t helping.

    “And when someone is actually killed you’re gonna feel real fuckin dumb for joking about it.”

    Oh, like all the other Trump policies and insanity that have literally got people killed and we joke about?

    Fuck’s sake. Mockery is the only language these cretins even partially comprehend. We’ve tried the “They go low, we go high” route. Telling them “P-p-please, you’re going to kill minorities talking like this…” just gives these Nazi fucks a hard-on. Only relentless mockery can make them tuck their tails and quiet down for a little bit, reducing the harm their insanity causes.

      Or the policy where they separated children from their parents and then didn’t keep track of who was family of whom, so that it was very hard and sometimes even impossible to reunite the family again in the future. Pure evil.

      I agree with you, but none of the cat jokes I’ve seen really struck me as making fun of the Trump supporters/Nazis. They mostly seem to put the immigrants at the butt of the joke.

      Maybe I’m just not taking the jokes in the spirit they’re intended in. But I don’t think that’s the case.
